This Day in Labor History: October 16, 1859. John Brown and a group of followers invade the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (today WV) to start a war and end slavery. Let's talk about this key moment in American labor history!

And that's just unbelievably fucked up, it's disgusting and undemocratic and un-American, it's utterly outrageous and awful, it is profoundly wrong and grounds for the entire regime to be removed from government.

And there's a big impetus to adopt that, because reacting to everything he threatens would be exhausting and it genuinely is a lot of bluster, so doing so sounds like hysteria. But here he is, apply state violence to a critic in another branch of government and pursuing deportation against her!

The actual use of federal force against Ilhan Omar (raiding her house, confiscating her passport) is something that's just been hard to wrap my head around! There's a generous interpretive lens Trump has trained us in: he makes threats but isn't serious or at least can't do it, so it's not real.

Fuck MPD always but especially for driving slowly down my block with floodlights on at 6:20am. This is what this city is paying overtime for?

Park Police will really call an ambulance for a homeless person they have cuffed, just to send it away and put them in the back of their squad car instead

although this did not in fact happen to me today, someone else I saw at the station did in fact get cold-called maybe 15 minutes after walking into class

geofenced google suggestions in foggy bottom are a window into the soul of the American state: confused about sexuality, confused about breakfast, confused about implementing nonsensical executive orders
Screenshot of a Google Search's autocompleted results for the phrase "how would you" including both mundane questions about not eating breakfast and also several related to instructions likely received by federal employees.

one of the wildest rhetorical moves in local politics has got to be the group calling itself "The 1617 Project". Are we talking about something like the 1619 Project, say? A serious historical reckoning with America's past? Nope! It's just a group trying to stop the development at 1617 U St.

for what it’s worth I think this movie is going to be great, I love Andrew Garfield and think peasant revolts are a really underrepresented historical image in media

answers a question really gnawing at me about why this movie obviously about a peasant revolt was suddenly being advertised as about a fictional good hearted highwayman from an earlier time

more serious Odyssey opinion: leaning into the religious significance of the Trojan horse strategy (and the hospitality as central to civilization theme) was a good choice by Nolan and friends artistically and politically. strongest condemnation of our present era I'd expect from a mass market film

I think a lot abt how during Reconstruction, white Republicans betrayed their Black voting base to try to appeal to white conservatives, who responded by forcing them from office, driving them from their homes, & if that failed, killing them.

despicable as the state dept's Cuba report may be, you can tell they had a blast writing it. in what other space can you shoehorn a reference to the Vagina Monologues into a government report?

triple prime canvassing in races with any amount of attention absolutely sucks. in 2024, canvassing a south Philly neighborhood for Kamala while SEIU was canvassing the same area and every single house was pissed off at how many contacts they'd had that week. lit on the ground like fallen leaves.

Maine DSA included two paragraphs about him in a 25-page voter guide, and were very careful in their language (mostly talking about how voters were excited for the platform, as opposed to the candidate). National DSA did not recommend anything. you can read for yourself here:

personally I was a bit suckered by Platner's charisma and messaging, but almost everything that's come out from his military background onwards has been pretty disqualifying on its own. misogyny is a powerful salve though! and it let a lot of Democrats paper over his shit for too long

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.
